What is stimTV

stimTV is an online television Network that uses a patented video engine to present dozens of videos at a time, in the form of short, three-to-five second clips that are pulled from the full-length videos. Just like the 'scan' button on your car radio, stimTV automatically plays a non-stop stream of short video clips, allowing you to quickly browse through all the videos on stimTV's first two channels: stimTVmusic and the new stimTVcinema preview.

stimTV does the work for you. As soon as you get to the site, the player will launch into 'scan' mode. When a short clip catches your eye, click on it to watch the full-length video (if there is not a full-length video, the 'watch' button will not appear). You can click 'scan' to get back into scan mode at any time.

There is also a history bar to the left of the player window, which shows the latest videos that played, and you can click to watch the long-forms of any of those videos as well.

To search for specific videos, just enter your search criteria into the search bar at the top of the player.

When you find videos you like and want to save on your profile, you can mark them by clicking on the little star below the video in the player (or next to the video in the history bar).

To view or edit your marked videos, click 'my marked videos' at the bottom of the player. From here you can also get the permalinks to your marked videos, or click to watch any of your marked videos.

If you see a video that you want to share with your friends, just click 'share this video' at the bottom of the player to get the permalink for that video.

To switch between stimTV channels, click the bar at the bottom of the player that says "now watching stimTV" and choose which channel you want to go to. Each channel has its own homepage on the website, with featured videos, updates, and exclusives.

Each stimTV channel also has its own sub-channels. Sub-channels are made up of videos that are the same style or genre, which is determined by our highly-trained ingestors and taggers. You always start out watching a mix of everything on each channel, so to choose a sub-channel, click on the "now watching" bar at the bottom of the player for a list of available programs on that channel.

Any time you are watching a full-length video, you have the option of learning more about that video and artist. Just click the 'more info' button to see photos, bios, and links to relevant websites and online stores.
